Licence Terms
The words Licensor and Host have the same meaning – East Village Apartments Limited
Upon receipt of a booking confirmation, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and us, subject to any additional terms and conditions set out in the listing or house manual, including in particular the applicable cancellation policy and any rules and restrictions specified in the Listing.
You understand that a confirmed booking is a limited license granted to you by us to enter, occupy and use the accommodation for the duration of your stay, during which time the Licensor retains the right to re-enter the accommodation for whatever reason including but not limited to breach of any house rules or other terms of this agreement, to carry out any maintenance work, to permit professional real estate agents or surveyors to view the property or any other activity requiring access to the property.
You understand that you are being granted a License to Occupy the premises and NOT a tenancy.
You agree to leave the accommodation no later than 10 am on the day of Check Out. If you stay past this without the host’s consent (“Overstay”), you no longer have a license to stay in the Accommodation and the host is entitled to re enter the property and remove your belongings. In addition, you agree to pay, if requested by the Licensor, for each twenty-four (24) hour period (or any portion thereof) that you Overstay, an additional nightly fee of up to two (2) times the average nightly rate originally paid by you to cover the inconvenience suffered by the Licensor, plus all applicable platform fees, taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the Licensor to make you leave (collectively, “Overstay Fees”). Overstay Fees for late checkouts on the checkout date that do not impact upcoming bookings may be limited to the additional costs incurred by the Licensor as a result of such Overstay.
The Licensor shall not be held liable for any failure to perform obligations under this agreement due to events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government restrictions, pandemics, or other force majeure events. The Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold the Licensor harmless from any claims, losses, or damages arising out of or in connection with such events, and acknowledges that they shall not make any claim against the Licensor for non-performance or delays resulting from such circumstances.
The Licensee agrees to take responsibility for the security of their personal items and acknowledges that the Licensor is not liable for any loss, theft, or damage to the Licensee’s belongings.
